Care and Maintenance
How to care for your furniture
Furniture with a melamine surface should be dusted with a dry cloth.
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s
surface by building up over time.
Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters. Wipe up spills
immediately and ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper if you are writing.
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing furniture
next to heat sources such as radiators or fires.
Safety Instructions
General warnings:
Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it.
Periodically check all fixings to ensure none have come loose and re-tighten where necessary.
Please take care when handling or moving the furniture as careless handling may cause damage or
injury.
Furniture can be dangerous if incorrectly installed. Assembly should be carried out by a competent
person. No liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by incorrectly installed or assembled
furniture.
